zahraa 26 Report post Posted May 23, 2014 Hi! Welcome to the forum. Do you use RPG maker XP or VX(ace)? I can help you with RPG Maker XP so feel free to tell me ur problems. It's so fun to learn game developing. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abigail 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2014 So you are finally introducing yourself, it's a pleasure to have you here. What brings you to a forum like this? And what are you planning, now that you are here? Thanks :) I am currently working on a new version of my chess engine for RPG Maker. It will be C++ powered via Win32API and much stronger. After that I might try something else, and I am also working on a little game that is currently a secret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltome 16 Report post Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Why a chess engine of all things? It's certainly a classic game, but a bit old and uninteresting. And there are quite a few out there.. And why are you going trough the trouble of porting it to rpg maker? Edited May 23, 2014 by Saltome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abigail 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2014 Why a chess engine of all things? It's certainly a classic game, but a bit old and uninteresting. And there are quite a few out there.. And why are you going trough the trouble of porting it to rpg maker? To me it's a very interesting game and there are certainly people who want chess functionality on RPG Maker, I've talked to several. The most important reason though is simply learning. I learn how to build powerful AI, I learn how to extend RPG Maker with c++, I learn about interfaces, I learn so much. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltome 16 Report post Posted May 23, 2014 Personally I don't like to mix languages, it's redundant and causes conflicts. Rpg maker uses Ruby and the RGSS library. Ruby and c++ are virtually interchangable, so the only advantage rpg maker has is the built in library, but in reality all it has going for it is the UI. As a coder everything else you will be changing, including the core functions of the library. It is however a good way to learn about code structure, otherwise I'd advice you to stick to c++ or even a ruby IDE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I second that, although good work detecting the ol' give me your skype / email trick. Welcome to GDU anyways :thumbsup: Interesting to see a 16 year old girl who's into programming.
